I was reading the colloquium Leidense from the bibliotheca Augustana. In Nicholas Oster's book 'Ad Infinitum, a Biography of Latin', the phrase 'densa te' is translated with 'pay attention'. I was thinking more of: 'move over'. Any thoughts?

Perhaps if you think of a person's thoughts wandering around, the teacher is remonstrating him to bring his thoughts together, in one place, thus the verb denso, to bring together, to make thick.

The only thing we can guarantee when communicating via the internet is that we will be almost completely misunderstood, and likely cause great offence in doing so. Throw in an attempt at humour and you insure a lifelong enemy will be made.
